The MAB commemorates the results after two years of the \u201cPlanting Lives\u201d campaign and says it will continue to act in defense of the Amazon .<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fight for life is what brought us here. We are fighting to survive and protect our loved ones. The coronavirus pandemic threatens everyone with death and, therefore, it is fair to defend ourselves in that regard. However, deforestation and forest fires are just like a \u201cpandemic of devastation\u201d; they put life at risk in a broader sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increase in fires is a direct result of deforestation. Wanting to fight the destruction of the Amazon and, at the same time, contribute to the recuperation of devastated areas, the Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB) launched the campaign \u201cPlanting Lives\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After confirming that capital acted in an articulated fashion to destroy the Amazonian environment through coordinated actions between grileiros<\/em> (land usurpers holding fraudulent titles) loggers, landowners, and garimpo<\/em> (illegal mining) entrepreneurs, even organizing the so-called \u201cFire Day\u201d in 2020, we decided to respond accordingly, carrying out the greatest number of actions in defense of the Amazon and its populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Planting Lives\u2019 campaign represents an alternative coming from farmers, from indigenous people, from riverside dwellers, of how to recover areas degraded by the current development model imposed for the Amazon,\u201d says Juarez Oliveira, who was affected by the Tocantis-Araguaia region\u2019s dam, in the state of Par\u00e1.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This model is the expression of the capital\u2019s strategy in the Amazon, directed towards the private appropriation of its gigantic natural resources\u2014land, water, minerals, oil, and biodiversity\u2014and obtaining extraordinary profits from its exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign was not only born out of the desire to implement concrete preservation and recovery practices in the Amazon rainforest, but also to raise society\u2019s awareness of this extremely important issue, as well as denounce ongoing actions taken mainly by the federal government through easing environmental legislation and dismantling the systems of protection and control in the Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the \u201cPlanting Lives\u201d campaign, we have distributed and planted more than 40 thousand plant seedlings in several regions of the Amazonian states, bringing life and hope for deforested areas near the garimpo <\/em>region, traditional communities, and urban centers, rural and city workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mid and long term, some of the benefits provided by the planting are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Recovery of areas degraded by livestock activity;<\/li>
  • Improvement of the rain cycle in regions with low levels of rainfall; <\/li>
  • Improve air quality and heat reduction, mainly in urban centers;<\/li>
  • Possibility of food and income generation in rural communities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For this project, many allies committed to the struggle in defense of the Amazon social movements organized in the V\u00eda Campesina and the Worker and Peasant Water and Energy Platform, religious entities such as KOINONIA and ACT Alliance, human rights organizations, indigenous people associations, artists, researchers, and popular fighters from all over Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While capitalism produces fires, destroys the rainforest for the sake of livestock, soy, and palm oil; destroys rivers and ecosystems; steals our wealth; exploits and injures; we are planting lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We cultivate, care, and work to help flourish regional, fruitful, oleaginous, and medical species, trees that provide shade to shelter us during the storm. We defend the sovereignty, the affected people\u2019s rights, indigenous and traditional peoples\u2019 culture and territory; we practice solidarity, justice, and love for people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The \u201cPlanting Lives\u201d campaign continues with its activities and remains firm in its purpose, producing results, growing, and multiplying itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    By sowing in good soil, we are fighting in defense of the Amazon, in defense of life; certainly, we will joyfully reap hope multiplied many times over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
